Treasury Policies Review
Treasury asserts its authority through formal policies that define objectives and delegate responsibilities. Clear policies ensure consistency throughout the organization while empowering decision makers to act autonomously and efficiently. Yet as the enterprise evolves, treasury may find its policies lag best in class policies and controls. Mergers and acquisitions, new board directives, rapid growth, and/or changes in risk appetite often require a fresh look at current policies.
